In 1954, Tove Jansson accepted an offer from the largest newspaper in the world at that time, the London Evening News, to begin publishing original comics about the Moomins. They were read by 20 million people every day in more than 40 countries for 20 years. The time has come for Russian-speaking readers to meet well-known and completely new characters invented by Tove Jansson, but in the form of comic book heroes. The third volume of Tove Jansson's Complete Collection of Comics consists of another five amazing stories: about Moomintroll who suddenly falls in love; about a valley that has turned into an impassable jungle; about the Martian invasion; about the mysterious lighthouse and the creative impulses of Moominpappa, as well as about the idle club life that thoroughly shook up the inhabitants of Moominvalley! The universal flood did not spare Moominvalley... Streams of water threw the remains of a traveling circus-tent into the valley, and with it and Moomintroll’s new love, arousing pangs of jealousy in the hitherto frivolous Miss Snork. The stifling heat disrupted the climatic balance of the cozy little world dozing between the pines and stones, causing a bountiful harvest of ficus, palm trees and vines and populating the entire area with alien fauna. A wandering flying saucer from Mars made an unexpected visit (or, more simply put, fell!) into the garden carefully nurtured by Moominmama. A mysterious lighthouse lost in the swells of the sea welcomes an impetuous and energetic caretaker (who decided to temporarily change his top hat to a windbreaker), and the Moomin family meets the taciturn Too-tikki. And finally, trying to keep up with the times, the Moomins plunge headlong into what turns out to be not so carefree club life with all its burdensome attributes and conventions...
